Description summary:
The description varies based on your level of Lead: Cartography.
Lead: Cartography | Description |
---|---|
630 | The Prester dreams of a palace of his youth, in a summer city bathed in the Mountain's Light. It was not Nidah. It will not be Nidah again. The dahlias wilt as he dreams, and the sky darkens, almost imperceptibly. |
631 | The Prester dreams of his father, and his father's mother, and the one who came before them. […]the Kingdoms from which they hale, and to which they will not return. […]their finery left at the College doors, and which they will not take up again. |
632 | The Prester dreams of roses and honey, spiders and bees. […]of a wound unceasing and a light unending. […]of London and tiger, of drowning and rising. […]of a hundred things besides and in those dreams he struggles to carve his territories to the […] map he has made. |
633 | The Prester is walking up a mountain. The Prester is governing Nidah. The Prester is not afraid of Nicator. It is a pleasant dream. |

Failure
Never far from the King
In his dreams, the Prester is a thousand men. […] old, […] young, some not men at all. Each walks[…] towards a door[…]. They are […] sleeping, loving, fighting, ailing. And always, the chain yanks them towards the door. You wake to hear its opening still resounding […].
